Planned Parenthood's Makes Major Endorsements For 2020 Candidates▼

The Planned Parenthood Action Fund announced it will invest at least $45 million in endorsements to Democratic candidates that support abortion rights in the 2020 election. As of Thursday, the health services and abortions rights organization had already endorsed 89 Democratic House and Senate candidates with plans to fund even more. It's focusing on over two dozen states in 2020, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The announcement specifically pointed to recent changes in government policy that impact its operations, including a new rule on the Title X program. Title X helps fund family planning and other health services for low-income patients. In August, Planned Parenthood withdrew from the program after the Department of Health and Human Services began barring organizations that receive Title X funds from performing or referring patients for abortions.
